I had the MX a good tire. I feel like a better valueis the Firestone wide oval there not in your poll but there in your price and very very good tire. I really do like mine. Very good traction on dry and wet.

I vote Nitto 555. I've been using them ever since i got rid of my stock tires. They have excellent life, are great in the rain, and definitely blow away the stock goodyears in traction. They are also only around $165 at my local discount tire

I did this same research and came up with Kumho MX or the Firestone wide oval. I had the MX's got about 24k out of 220 treadwear and only rotated once. now I got the wide ovals and I really like them a lot, I think a lot of people miss these tires and there really good! Lots of people liked them just as good as the hallowed good years.

should take nitto 555 into consideration. i switched from bfg kdw's to the nitto's and would never go back. wet traction, dry traction, cool weather and track performance is better with the nitto's. just by switching tires i dropped 2 tenths in my 60 foot.

KDWS's suck, so do Kumho 712's. I'll throw another one in, the General Exclaim UHP. I would never promote General until I bought a set of these for my wife's Mazda6. If you want super duper cheap, find a set of Riken Raptor ZR's. The Steeda guys ran those on their personal cars in practice. Tread Depot and Tiresavings are two sources.

all im looking for is 15-20 mph punchable hookup tires ill run'm at 30 psi or so while the fronts will be at like 32-33 (the new falkens)
